The effects of deconditioning on exercise-induced bone gains in rats were investigated in 12-week-old female WKY rats performing a standard jumping exercise regimen for either 8, 12 or 24 weeks, followed by sedentary periods of either 24, 12 or 0 weeks, respectively. Age-matched controls received no exercise over the same period. At the end of the training/sedentary period, the tibiae were harvested for analyses of bone parameters. Gains in tibial fat-free dry weight decayed within 12 weeks of deconditioning, but gains in tibial ultimate bending force (strength), maximum diameter and cortical area were still present at 12 weeks of deconditioning. With the exception of cortical area, all other exercise-induced bone gains decayed by the 24th week of deconditioning. It appears that the decay in exercise-induced bone gains in strength, physical and morphological properties is not uniform, and that gains in fat-free dry weight seem to decay earlier.

The Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton (LINC) complex serves to connect the nuclear envelope and the cytoskeleton, influencing cellular processes such as nuclear arrangement, architecture, and mechanotransduction. The role LINC plays in mechanotransduction pathways in bone progenitor cells has been well studied; however, the mechanisms by which LINC complexes govern in vivo bone formation remain less clear. To bridge this knowledge gap, we established a murine model disrupting LINC using transgenic Prx-Cre mice and floxed Tg(CAG-LacZ/EGFP-KASH2) mice.

Irisin, an exercise-induced myokine, is known to be able to regulate bone metabolism. However, the underlying mechanisms regarding the effects of irisin on senile osteoporosis have not been fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that irisin can inhibit bone mass loss and bone microarchitecture alteration in senile osteoporosis mouse model.

From Tissue to System: What Constitutes an Appropriate Response to Loading?

Article Synopsis
  • * The recovery times for each tissue after training loads vary significantly; for example, cartilage can recover in about 30 minutes, while muscle may need 72 hours or more.
  • * Frequency and intensity of exercises influence tissue readiness; aerobic activities can be repeated sooner (≤ 24 hours) than anaerobic ones, which require longer recovery periods (≥ 72 hours) to avoid negative effects.

Upon engaging in physical activity, skeletal muscle synthesizes myokines, which not only facilitate crosstalk with various organs, including the brain, adipose tissue, bone, liver, gut, pancreas, and skin but also promote intramuscular signaling. Crosstalk is vital for maintaining various physiological processes. However, the specific interactions between skeletal muscle and intervertebral discs remain largely unexplored.
